Here's a little update on the 69 FST. Since my last posting I've ordered more parts and was able to get some of them installed. I got the new rebuilt carb from Mark as well as the new fan blade and spacer. I relocated the oil filter and made new lines for it. Put back on the parking brake drum with new pads and cleaned it up. What a mess that thing was. Installed a new double seal speedo housing from Georg at Valley Hybrids. When I put the parking brake assembly back together it was a very tight fit. The cable has very little slack on it, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I also put new gaskets on inspection plate of the tcase as well as the output shaft cover. My intention was to remove the tcase and redo all the seals, but I could not get the output nut off. I refilled the case with gear oil, but it's sill leaking from the front output cone at the bottom. I'm wondering if I can remove that while the case is still on the truck? I'm going to try that this weekend, but if I that's not an option then out comes the tranny and tcase and I'll have another go at it. Here are some pictures.
